Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, the upcoming remake of the first Trails came, is only a few weeks away now, due out on September 19.
It’s been pretty much assumed that a remake of Trails in the Sky Second Chapter will follow unless the remake’s sales are disastrous, and now it’s all but confirmed.
In a recent interview, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo said, “If we didn’t follow up with a remake of Trails in the Sky SC, people would go, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.'”
(He’s right, especially because the first game ends on a cliffhanger that leads directly into the second.)
He went on to say that they “want to avoid such a long gap” compared to the original release. That’s interesting, because the original Trails in the Sky came out in Japan in June 2004, which SC following in March 2006. If he wants to avoid a similar gap, that suggests they’re hoping to remake SC next year.
He also said that the possibility of further remakes “depends on fan demand.”
Personally, I hope they at least remake Trails in the Sky the 3rd after that if they’re going to remake the first two.
I’ve still got a long way to go to catch up on the Trails series, having only finished the three Sky games so far. Still, I’m excited to see these remakes, because the first game’s remake looks fantastic. (And hey, at least the remakes give me a little more time to make progress before the next new game, even though I still won’t be caught up in time.)
Are you planning to play Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter?
